Chapter 303 New Year's New Development

"What do you think, my husband?" Zheng Liwan put down the secret decree sent by Li Shimin, and asked while leaning on the back of her chair.

"Haha! There are countless talented people in the court. For such a big thing, it's my turn to take the lead. I can say that I don't have more, and I don't have too much." Situ Changfeng shook his head and smiled indifferently.

"My husband doesn't have to think about my concubine. Although I am pregnant, I still have the ability to take care of myself. I can't delay your affairs because of this." Seeing Situ Changfeng's gaze on her lower abdomen, Zheng Liwan couldn't help feeling very sweet, But the two of them had been together for so long, how could they not understand his ambition, so they spoke to ease his heart.

"Nothing is as important as Madam." Situ Changfeng said firmly.Maybe serving the imperial court and rejuvenating the family is the ideal of most people, but for Situ Changfeng, a time traveler, the family is the most important thing, and he has been working hard for survival and for the family to live better.

"Husband!" Zheng Liwan was so moved that her eyes burst into tears, she held Situ Changfeng's arm and was speechless.

"Ma'am! I only have you few relatives now, there is nothing more important than you." Situ Changfeng gently said with his arms around his wife.

"I understand! But my husband, where is the country? Your Majesty said that the situation is extremely critical this time, and it is for your help, and you must not let Turkic horses trample on the Central Plains for the sake of this concubine, causing the people to suffer." Zheng Liwan waited for a while and continued. persuade.

It has to be said that the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor holds a huge weight in the hearts of most people. Zheng Liwan has completely forgotten the hard days brought about by Li Shimin.Of course, it was also because Li Shimin valued her husband, which made her feel happy and proud. Naturally, she wanted to push Situ Changfeng to go further. She didn't want to delay Situ Changfeng because of herself. Every sinner will leave a hurdle in his own heart.

"Okay, okay, listen to Madam, and make arrangements for my husband in the next year. It's just a very important matter, don't let other people know." Situ Changfeng couldn't say it, so he had to follow her. After all, women must be reasonable. But, let alone pregnant women, they are the biggest, eh!Bigger than the emperor, what she said was the truth.

Anyone who has raised a dog knows, cough cough!Logically, that's the best.

The New Year has been lively and lively. Although the people in the two prefectures have settled down this year, they are very satisfied. Not only the living environment has improved, but there is also hope. In addition, the Dudu Mansion even distributed gifts during the Spring Festival, a piece of woolen clothes, a piece of mutton, Although it is cured meat from the grassland, it has never been seen before. The government gave the people holiday gifts.

Of course, it was given by Situ Changfeng in the name of the little princess Li Mingda, and he would not let Yushi make trouble.

Therefore, the little princess Li Mingda's reputation in the two states has greatly increased, and of course Situ Changfeng's reputation is even greater, because everyone knows that he is the princess' teacher, not to mention that the little princess has not been seen by many people.

No matter what, the two masters and apprentices are good people in the hearts of the people.

Spring starts very early in the south. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the government begins to organize farming. This is mainly the latest planting method. After last year's experiments, the fields selected for planting can yield [-]% more than before, and the fields for breeding are even more. The harvest is [-]%. If fertilizer is added, the harvest will be [-]% more than before.

So at the beginning of this year, the first thing is to tidy up the field, first turn over the field, and take advantage of the last cold to freeze the insect eggs in the field.

Then select seeds, breed, and mix together the plant ash and animal manure collected in one winter to increase the fertility of the field. It can be expected that this year will be another good harvest.

Although the common people don't really believe that such troublesome planting can increase the production much, but out of trust in the government, they still follow suit.

Only discerning businessmen, aristocratic families, and officials followed, or sent people to follow and learn. Relatively speaking, everyone was more interested in the vegetables of the two states than the food.

Last year, the two states harvested the most, a kind called carrots, which was passed from the hands of the Hu people in the Western Regions, so it is called carrots. It not only has a high yield, but also can be eaten raw or cooked. It tastes sweet and has a long storage time. It is very popular among the people. Even rich people like to eat in different ways. Who makes this world less sweet?

The second type is also from the Western Regions, called winter melon, but it is not the hairy winter melon of Datang, but a huge winter melon, the largest of which is the size of a one or two-year-old child. Although the taste is average, but the size Big enough to make up for all the shortcomings. The most important thing is that it can be preserved for almost a winter. It is a rare good product for the winter when there is a lack of green vegetables. It is said that the old emperor likes to eat winter melon and pumpkin in Yuezhou.

That's right, pumpkins are also from the Western Regions. They are high-yield and delicious. The most important thing is that these two vegetables don't take up any land.

According to the common people, if this is a calamity year, it will be able to feed a family. Although it is not as good as the staple food, it is more delicious than rough mother.

Speaking of high yield, a thing that was not taken seriously in Sichuan has become popular in Yuezhou. Chayote, also called Turkish melon and gourd melon, can be planted under a tree, and its vines will naturally wrap around the tree. , it bears a lot of fruits, and the fruiting time is long and can last for several months. The most important thing is that you only need to plant the seeds in the first year, and you can harvest them every year without any management in the future.

Grain is hard goods. Whether it is the common people or the aristocratic family, they are tirelessly pursuing food. The common people only think about the food they currently live in, while the aristocratic family always store as much food as possible like a squirrel about to spend the winter.

That's why the several vegetarian dishes made by Situ Changfeng are so eye-catching. Unfortunately, the seeds are limited now. I have to go to Chang'an to get a batch, and the others are in the two states.The goal of the two states this year is to plant tea trees and vegetables on all the small islands in Dongting Lake, especially winter melons and pumpkins. Even if they are bad, they can be thrown into fish ponds to feed the fish.

In fact, the development of islands is something Situ Changfeng had no choice but to do. In Dongting Lake, reeds are the most abundant, and there are too many reeds, which will nourish more mosquitoes. In addition, the leeches in the paddy fields will cause many illnesses for the people. Therefore, it is urgent to plan the reed marshes as much as possible.

The planning of the reed marsh was due to the papermaking technology that Situ Changfeng brought back from the sacred sculpture. There were many literati in the Song Dynasty and their status was very high. This led to the vigorous development of the Four Treasures of the Study. This papermaking technology naturally developed unprecedentedly, using various plants to make Reeds are only one of them to produce excellent paper. Since we have this innate condition, we must make good use of them. However, there are too many of them all over Dongting Lake, which not only makes the waterway unclear, but also has side effects, so planning is required.
